[Air-L] Going Digital and Digital Tools for Qualitative Research Workshops at Goldsmiths

[David Moats]

**Apologies for Cross-Posting**


Two (PhD/ECR) workshops rethinking the relationship between quant-qual in
social media research, will be held at Goldsmiths, University of London
this May.



The first, 'Going Digital', is an introductory workshop on the challenges
of locating, scraping and analysing social media data facing both
quantitative and qualitative researchers. The session will include
presentations by Noortje Marres, Brian Alleyne, Dhiraj Murthy and David
Moats and introduce students to several freely available, exploratory web
based tools (Digital Methods) through hands-on instruction and small group
work. The goal will be for students to approach digital data, and new
methods, with open minds but equipped with more critical faculties.

The second event, 'Digital Tools for Qualitative Research' is a more
advanced workshop specifically investigating the potential for
'quanti-quali' (Latour and Venturini 2011) methods: which allow for close
reading of texts as well as patterns and relationships at the aggregate
level. The first day will include presentations by Noorjte Marres, Bernhard
Rieder and Tommaso Venturini and will be devoted to discussing the
participant's specific research problems and the affordances of existing
methods and tools for addressing them. The second day will be devoted to a
specific Twitter analysis tool, currently in proto-type, which will be
tested and customised in a small group environment with programmers,
designers and researchers working collaboratively.
